tamir-e-kaenat ke saman liye hue
aai hun raaz-e-alam-e-imkan liye hue

jaun kidhar main kashti-e-arman liye hue
har sahil-e-murad hai tufan liye hue

jalwa nazar fareb hai duniya hai dil fareb
har aaina hai dida-e-hairan liye hue

khud-bin tu mere shewa-e-taslim par na ja
baithi hun raaz-e-alam-e-imkan liye hue

har qatra hai talatum-e-dariya ki yaadgar
har zarra hai numud-e-bayaban liye hue

shan-e-junun to dekhiye apne saron pe aaj
phirte hain mujh ko khar-e-bayaban liye hue

allah re dua-e-lab-e-zakhm ka asar
wo khud hi aa rahe hain namak-dan liye hue

pur-dagh mera dil raha bazm-e-nashat mein
aaya hazar sham-e-farozan liye hue

o be-niyaz dekh teri bazm-e-naz se
jati hun ishq-e-be-sar-o-saman liye hue

'kulsum' kal wo guzre hain mere qarib se
aankhon mein ek shararat-e-pinhan liye hue
